[NTG-context] randomize direction of arrow in metafun

Hi all, for a slide template, I want to draw colored arrows in a randomized color (from a list of colors). This works (and the code is far too clever for me, I must have copied it somewhere): save mycolor ; color mycolor[] ; mycolor[1] := (0.2, 0.3, 0.4) ; mycolor[2] := (0.6, 0.6, 0.4) ;

Re: [NTG-context] Randomize order of blocks

Nice. I had something a little bit different in mind, but your examples gave me some ideas, especially the shuffling stuff. If I have something new to add, I will share my results with the list. Thank you a lot. Best regards, Jairo El mié, 6 de ene. de 2021 a la(s) 03:56, Otared Kavian

Re: [NTG-context] Randomize order of blocks

Hi Jairo, One can indeed make quizzes and exams with randomized order of problems, randomized values and even randomized names of functions and variables. I have some examples which I have been using for several years (they are useful especially in these days of giving exams online…): I can

[NTG-context] Randomize order of blocks

Hi, list. Some time ago I realized ConTeXt has "blocks" which allow one to make quizzes, exams and related with ease. However, I want to know if there's an option to randomize their order when printed. Thank you in advance. Jairo

Now it works. But WHY? Because that's the way random number generators works. They're not random at all, they generate completely predictable number sequences from a seed: each time you use the same seed, you get the exact same sequence. In your case, you used os.time() as a seed, which is
